Anyone ever tried to paint their Fuchs completely black??

Yes I know - try the search :p

Very handsome car! Please post more pics!

I have seen this before, your not the first, nor the last.

Good reason to buy a Halon fire ext.

Thanks for sharing, just laugh and clean it up. Good lesson for all of us.


Best luck,

Yes I have seen it many times and I;m doing it. Don't copy me. :D

bigrubber..you're seriously going 'all black' on your fuchs? no silver lip at all? i don't think i've ever seen that before..but then again, i'm not in cali.. ;)

yeah that's the plan, the PO of my car had the fuch's cromed, so I asked around about getting them back to stock look but according to wheel experts they say I should expect some noticible marking to show after they remove the crome, so this is really whats pushing me more towards the all black look, here is a similar car with all black wheels. Besides, I always wanted all black wheels, the silver lip is really a Jap idea. (nothing against Jap cars, just not on my 911)

You might consider a Halon unit to replace the dry chemical one....That's the main reason I use Halon (don't like the sticky goo)
